Updated Law School Predictor

Hi everyone,

We've updated our law school admissions predictor with data from the 2018–2019 cycle.

You should interpret these predictions with a grain of salt. If law schools admitted students by algorithm, they wouldn't be paying admissions officers to read files. Our predictor is best used to ballpark your chances so that you can apply to a spread of reach, target, and safety schools.

    What percent range would you say is a reach, safety, or target school?

  • David BusisDavid Busis Member Moderator

    I think of it this way:

    0–20%: Super-reach

    21–40%: Reach

    41–60%: Target

    61–80%: Probable target

    81–100%: Safety

    Thanks for the update. Is there an article on how being a non K-JD/non-traditional applicant/OWL may affect chances?

    Why do my chances go down about 3% every year? Lol

    What is the difference between a target and a probable target?

    @jessicalauren216 "probable target" is just my way of saying "you'll prooooooooooobably maybe get into this school but I'm not quite comfortable calling it a safety." A target means "you have a good chance based on your numbers, so it's probably going to come down to the quality of your application and a bit of luck."

    @"David.Busis" - will something like this come out for Canadian law schools?

    @Trusttheprocess Unfortunately no, at least for the time being. We don't have enough data.

    Was the predictor updated again over the last week I’m pretty sure my results came out differently since a week ago?

    @sygolub Yes. It's a little more forgiving now. We think it's more accurate except in cases where you're below both medians, in which case the school is a reach no matter what the predictor says. We're working on making the model smarter.
